Applied Memetics for Disillusioned Dems
EMBRACE MEMES NOW
As I contemplated the depressing outcome of last night's election, one thought kept bugging me. How incompetent can the Democrats be when it comes to the cutting edge of political manipulation? Throughout the Clinton presidency I always felt that the sharpest operators were on the left's side. We controlled cultural discourse. We understood the media. We knew how best to talk to the people about what mattered to them. And frankly, we were better at manipulating our opponents.
But I no longer feel that way. Today it's clear that the Republicans understand the media better than we do, and it's time we admitted it to ourselves. Among other things, the biggest difference in the last two years has been, to my mind, the way Republicans have come to understand marketing and ways to use language to control people's thinking.

Memetics is the study of how ideas thrive and are transmitted. Ideas that are packaged to be healthy, interesting, exciting, compelling, all tend to be transmitted more than others. This glossary is a short overview on how to consider packaging ideas so that they are fit. Select from a list below. Load a new random term A B C ... Z Search Teledildonics Threat Tipping Tipping Point ... TRANSMISSION: The Final part of the 4 part process of meme replication as suggested by Francis Heylighen - assimilation, retention, expression and transmission, each stage containing its own different objective, subjective, intersubjective and meme-centered selection criteria.
Selection at the transmission stage happens through either elimination of certain memes, when the vehicle is destroyed or gets corrupted before it is perceived by another individual, or through differential multiplication, when the vehicle is reproduced into many copies. For example, a manuscript may be put into the shredder or it may be turned into a book which is printed in thousands of copies. A radio communication may get lost because of noise, or it may be broadcasted to millions of listeners. Especially since the emergence of mass media, the transmission stage is the one where the contrast between successful and unsuccessful memes is largest, and where selection may have the largest impact.

http://www.evolutionzone.com/kulturezone/memetics/index_body.html
Memetics was invented by Richard Dawkins, and is a theory for understanding the spreading of useful information patterns (ideas). The word "meme" is a parallel to "gene", and signifies that this is a metaphor which likens the spreading of ideas to that of the spreading of genes. In this metaphor, ideas are taken to be akin to viruses, "infecting" their hosts in a symbiotic state. This theory has been very popular in certain circles, such as the FutureCulture mailinglist and other places where information theory is considered important, yet some scepticism has been uttered. Nevertheless it is interesting to see a theory which demonstrates self-reference (the idea of a "meme" is itself a meme), yet seems to have some usefulness as a tool for analysis of culture. A good point to start is to look at the FAQ for alt.memetics or to search Altavista for "memetics and meme" . A shorter introduction is given by the Jargon File 3.0.0 's entries on meme and memetics (beware: by accessing this link you risk exposure to a vast meme complex native to hacker culture...)

History of the term
In his book The Selfish Gene (1976), the ethologist Richard Dawkins invented the term 'meme' to describe a unit of human cultural evolution analogous to the gene , arguing that replication also happens in culture , albeit in a different sense. In his book, Dawkins contended that the meme is a unit of information residing in the brain and is the mutating replicator in human cultural evolution. It is a pattern that can influence its surroundings and can propagate. This created great debate among sociologists, biologists, and scientists of other disciplines, because Dawkins himself did not provide a sufficient explanation of how the replication of units of information in the brain controls human behavior and ultimately culture. Accordingly, the term "unit of information" came to be defined in different ways by many scientists. The modern memetics movement dates from the early 1990s, and differs from mainstream cultural evolutionary theory in that its practitioners frequently come from outside of the fields of anthropology and sociology, and are often not academics.

Memes
Pronounced: `meem What is a meme? A meme is an idea, or a particular way of thinking about what an idea is. A meme is a unit of mental information in the same way that a gene is a unit of biological information a metaphor of an idea as a transposon, a pattern of thought as a virus, a knowledge structure as a chromosome. Memes compete to spread their information though a social population in the same ways genes compete to spread their information content through a biological population.
Definitions
Here is what Eric Watt Forste has to say about memes: Human knowledge evolves by mechanisms similar to biological evolution: over the long run, by blind variation, accurate replication, and selective elimination. The term which encapsulates this metaphor with genes is "meme". A whole new school of thinking about knowledge is developing out of the confluence of meme idea on the one hand, and the pancritical epistemology of William Bartley and Sir Karl Popper

MEMETICS
How Mind Viruses Influence Our Choices and the Way We Think
By Jack Hardy
The word ‘meme’ was first popularly used by Richard Dawkins in his book, The Selfish Gene . The word ‘meme’ has come to mean a cultural accretion of knowledge, a package of several ideas that can be passed onto others. It’s usually more complex than a single idea, and can represent a fashion/music/lifestyle or a belief. It is the mental equivalent of a gene whereby a package of many attributes is passed on.       The science or study of memes in action has come to be called memetics.       A meme has been regarded too narrowly I believe, and I am interested in broadening the definition of a meme. No matter how narrow a definition you give to a meme, sooner or later you have to consider more nebulous or abstract ideas as having acquired enough cultural accretion to have become memes. It’s easy to conceive of a visual fad such as the hula-hoop as having a chartable spread through society and calling it a meme, but surely socialism, futurism or a new political idea are also memes that spread through society.

Religion and Memetics: The God Meme
Evolutionary theory has revolutionised modern thought. The way that we understand the world has been profoundly influenced by Darwin’s insight into the way that natural selection guides progress over time. Recently, it has been recognised that Darwin’s theory applies not only to biological organisms but also to ideas. Some, such as Richard Dawkins , Susan Blackmore, and Daniel Dennett, have argued that this provides an explanation of religious belief, and that this explanation counts against the idea that such beliefs are true.
The Theory of Evolution
Darwin’s theory of evolution sought to explain the diversity of species in the world in the following way: The world contains only a limited supply of the resources necessary to support life. Organisms must therefore compete with each other for these resources in order to survive.

While Darwinizing Culture provided scientific validity for industrial age genocide, I think we are now either headed for the endplay of cultural Darwinism as represented by capitalist scientism ( A Short History of the Metameme ), or the beginning of an age of transcultural humanism informing the ethical appropriation of scientific understanding. "Dan Dennett has argued that Darwin's "dangerous idea" is an abstract algorithm, often called the "replicator dynamic". This dynamic consists of repeated iterations of selection from among randomly mutating replicators according to some criterion. Replicators, in turn, are units of information with the ability to reproduce themselves using resources from some material substrate." Reflexive Ethnographic Science (a proposed book) "As a contribution to a scientific cultural anthropology, it constitutes a foil to those in cultural studies and related fields who deride the possibility of verifiable ethnographic representations. Instead, it points the way toward a unique combination of traditional and post-modern objectives in effect, a reflexive ethnographic science." Robert Aunger, author of the above article, has an abiding interest in testing the memetic model within cultural anthropology.

Folktologies Beyond the Folksonomy vs. Ontology Distinction
First of all I know Clay Shirky , and he's a good fellow. But he's simply wrong about his claim that "tagging" (of the flavor that is appearing on del.icio.us what I call "social tagging") is inherently better than the use of formal ontologies. Clay favors the tagging approach because it is bottom-up and emergent in nature, and he argues against ontologies because pre-specification cannot anticipate the future. But this is a simplistic view of both approaches. One could just as easily argue against tagging systems because they don't anticipate the future they are shortsighted, now-oriented systems that fail to capture the "big picture" or to optimally organize resources for the long-term. Their saving grace is that over time they do (hopefully) self-organize and prune out the chaff, but that depends both on the level of participation and the quality of that participation.
